Eta meson production in pion-induced reactions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5628303
Recent experiments at LAMPF to study pion-induced eta meson production are discussed. Results from the /pi//sup /minus//p /yields/ /eta/n and /pi//sup /minus// /sup 3/He /yields/ /eta/t reactions, potentially useful for tagged /eta/ production, are presented. Preliminary results from the /pi//sup /plus minus//d /yields/ /eta/NN reaction, as well as mass and energy dependence of inclusive (/pi/,/eta/) cross sections on heavy nuclei are shown. Information on /eta/-nucleus interaction is extract from these data. 31 refs., 11 figs.
